Question

New Zealand has a population of 4,326,380 and has an area of 103,736 while Australia has an area of 2,967,909 miles and a population of 21,905,140. Explain how New Zealand can have a larger population density than Australia even though it has a smaller total population?

Answer 1

Since the country has a smaller area and a large amount of people (although smaller than Australia) the ratio of land to people in New Zealand is much larger than the ration of land to people in Australia.
